Top Things to Know

Local Expertise in Tailor-making and Guiding

As dedicated photographers ourselves, we understand the significance of capturing your desired images. Our team is ready to start early, as early as 3 am, to ascend the mountain at 4:30 am for sunrise and descend at 8 pm after sunset.

Our skilled guides are equipped with full-frame cameras from Nikon, Canon, and Sony. We cater to your preferences by arranging suitable guides for your photo tour, and offer guidance on camera settings and composition techniques.

With over 100 mountain expeditions per year, some of our guides are well acquainted with the cormorant fishermen and their locations. Additionally, we have extensive knowledge of sunrise angles in different seasons, enabling us to select the best sites for capturing the most photogenic moments.

"It's a great mixture of people and landscape... Mercier really know about what you need for taking great shots."

Together with us, Alexander Alexandrov filmed a documentary about fishermen, which was published on numerous media outlets.
